In the article published Tuesday, Politico Magazine’s Derek Guy noted that three bootmakers, including Zephan Parker, who owns the Houston, Texas-based Parker Boot Company, said that DeSantis’s boots are altered to accommodate lifts.
“I’ve dealt with these politicians many times,” Parker told the outlet. “I’ve helped them with their lifts. [DeSantis] is wearing lifts; there’s no doubt.”
“3 Expert Shoemakers Say Ron DeSantis Is Probably Wearing Height Boosters”
1. Shoemaker Nicholas Templeman notes this unusually high wrinkle in the boot, suggesting DeSantis’ ankle sits high up.
2. According to cowboy boot-maker Graham Ebner, the leather appears stretched…

Lifts paired with the traditional cowboy boots, which tend to have higher heels, can essentially “turn them into five-inch stilettos,” Parker said, noting that in instances where lifts are used, the heels of the boots are often shortened, as the combination is “too much for the common man.”
“So on a ready-made boot, they’ll cut down the heel about half an inch to accommodate the lifts, which looks to be what happened here,” he said.

Two other shoemakers weighed in. London-based shoemaker Nicholas Templeman told the publication that DeSantis’s boots have an uncharacteristic crease high up on the decorative, weaker parts, indicating a lift on the interior.
Austin, Texas-based bootmaker Graham Ebner made a similar point to Politico,

Seems to me tall guys take offense to anyone trying to fake it; fake the natural social advantage that comes with above average height.
Right! This changes everything
Apparently DeSantis wants to get nailed.
get nailed?
Oh, but it is so humiliating for DeSantis and his supporters.
Ron who?
Like a hooker.
Ditto.
I wonder if people are this concerned about the size of Obama’s butt plug?
I am no desanctus supporter but humiliating?
How tall is DeSantis with normal shoes?
DeSantis is lying about his height: however, it seems like an insecurity issue. Not a good trait for a wannabe President.
Trump Jr explains:

The DeSantis derangement syndrome sure is strong with some folks. Tell me again why if Trump is so, so, so far ahead in the polls, his supporters spend all day attacking someone who trails by an insurmountable margin?
Sounds like something that Trump would do - just can’t let things go and focus on the democrats instead of his own party - he needs to sit in his basement and think about mean names for his enemies list instead of running against Biden.
They are wanna be whimps.
LOL!!!!!
I am sure Rubio would have let Ron use his Cha Cha boots.
Now, both of these things look absurd. I hate to see anyone humiliated, but DeSantis looks like he’s wearing a boot that’s two sizes too big. If he is wearing lifts, he needs to wear boots with a really stiff toe box, because these look ridiculous. What genius advisor talked him into this?
